Description

A wooden boat with a dark sail furled on a tilted mast floats in calm water beside a curved stone quay. Three men sit and crouch in the boat, a man sits on the quay at right and another walks at the far end of the quay. Low white buildings, a tower and tall columns line the waterfront behind.
